Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a depiction of Christopher Columbus claiming the newly discovered land, which is a controversial historical event as it is widely acknowledged that Columbus did not actually discover the Americas, but rather encountered indigenous peoples who had been living there for thousands of years. This highlights the importance of considering the impact of historical narratives and representations on marginalized communities.
